When I search /home/eric/.config/libreoffice/r/registrymodifications.xcu 
for "UI.Sidebar/General" it is not found. I do find, e.g., 
UI.Sidebar/Content. (I had to search in Firefox. For some reason gedit 
chokes when I try to do a search on this large file.)

When I check "Open Expert Configuration" in LO the value there has 
changed to "true" again. It changed suddenly and, as far as I can tell, 
entirely arbitrarily after behaving for several weeks.

20231016 update:

Follow-up: Out of curiosity I tried opening the 
registrymodifications.xcu in Writer and there I did find the 
MinimumWidth entry.

The next time the setting changes I'll look to see what happened in 
registrymodifications.xcu
